Is there any chance that we get account wide achievements??

Basil2

I have been playing ESO for qbout 2 years. So far I have created 3 characters. First was StamDK, that I went for Stamplar and after that for a stamblade. I have sllways seen my character as a more 2h meele kind type with a bow or dw on the backbar. I have been more than decent in PVP but there was allways something missing and recently I created magsorc because trut be told stam classes kinda blow when compared to their mag counterparts. And so far magsorc is truly amazing class. So far I got centurion rank in alliance war with both stamDK and stamplar and first sargent with my stamblade but now I am wondering will I ever get that legate black dye. If things doesnt change I am looking at minimum 3 years of playing (I am playing about 15 h per week) to acheive that legate rank. So, do xou think there is any chance that we can get account wide achievements???

No thanks

Wow

Yes please

Jim_Pipp

No. This is a very commonly debated subject - and I'm not aware of any comment from the developers.

I am strongly against account wide achievements - I love that the dye's and collectibles are available across my account, and I like the achievements track what I have done with each character individually. It is annoying knowing you could earn an achievement more easily on a different character, but I like how things are at the moment.

Given how many times it has been discussed over the years I suspect not - a lot of people like to track their characters differently.

In terms of colours you only have to earn them on a single character for them to be available on all (and not everyone likes that either).

I doubt they'll ever let the PvP ranks you have gained across multiple characters be additive but then CP are so never say never...

But compromise seems to be that we get access to a summary sheet for what the account has done - perhaps on the character selection page - but maintain per character sheets in game.

I suppose the cynical and probably real answer is that if they can find a way of monetising it without too much effort it might happen.

yes please, or maybe an tokent to bind characters progressions/acheivements? so we playing everything on single character, main, we coudl finally play just different class alts with peace? which might even looks like literally copy paste of out main...only class different.....and knowledge about game mechanics etc is staying with us...not like knowledge about content we was running have stayed on this character we were running with..

i prefer things the way they are. i don't like the idea of titles being shared across characters. mounts, costumes, skins, etc are fine, but titles can't be shared, imo

uh oh, so mounts, skins, personalities, costumes etc ale fine on chracter wchich didnt earn them and can be seen from away on character but title is specially bad for this? title is nothing specially different than these collectibles along with dyes, motif styles etc if we are going this way

I understand that some achievements are roke related ( like heal xxx amount to yyy, ) or class, related (for example I have acieved 10 under 5 with either DK or templar but with my NB i got it before i was level 20) and maybe those achievements shouldn't be touched some achievements like Grand overlord need redovito za amount of time to get and it would take the same amount of time to get them with one or dosen characters

Grandchamp1989

This is so much needed.
Or atleast let have the option of accessing our achievements on the other characters without having to relog!!

Such a pain for trials having to relog to show achievments..

A lot of fun to "track" [Grand Master Crafting Harvester] and [Master Fisher] achievements.

My opinion - obviously achievs must by account-wide. it's unlocked by PLAYERS, not CHARACTERS.

shadyjane62

Yes please. I love my other chars much more than my main that has all the achievements.

I was a fool to start with an Altmer as they are too snooty and too tall.

I mostly make Wood Elves and Imperials for my alts. But I am 70 and too old to do all those beginner cheevs again.

Have some pity for a Senior Citizen.

Hopefully not, for all the reasons given in many other threads on the subject.

Depends on how you view it.. I see my characters as individuals, so I don't think it should be account wide..

Oh cmon. No

I've read a few of these threads, and I have to admit my opinion has softened a little.

Some achievements could definitely be account-wide, since they are indeed linked to the player and not the character - for example, things like "Kill x skeletons, ghosts, spriggans, etc.", or "launder this ridiculous amount of stolen stuff for x amount of gold". Why they would be linked to each character individually is a little (ahem, a lot) redundant, given that it can easily be accomplished with any given toon, and is not linked to player skill.

However, I still firmly believe that some achievements and titles should remain bound to the character, as it was achieved with a particular setup in a particular circumstance (trial achievements and titles, for example). It was earned in a given context, with a character that has a specific build/role/class.

Some achievements are related to.skill lines like dungeon achievements jump undaunted skill line so you can't do all.of them.

and there are also many good reasons for yes, especially if that was option for people who really need it, want it so players who dont want it wont need to worry about other players with it

If only being right was as simple as using all caps.

But in reality some people think as you do while others feel the character is the key. Probably depends on how much RP you like with your G.

Nobody needs it, some players want it. There's a difference.

Would love to see it

I hope one day we´ll get them! They are one of the biggest things I feel this game is lacking.

Your level 3 character can already wear your vCR3 skin while riding your Godslayer mount and people don't whine about that, so having the title and stuff along with it is fine too. If people are against it, they don't have to wear the title on a character until they complete the content again on that character.

Thats not the same.

Apparently, there's an achievement that I was unaware of for bringing up the same "ain't gonna happen" topic as many times as humanly possible in the forums.

You can't unlock an achievement if you don't have a character. It is a team effort between you and your character.

Usually there are mostly two groups of people that want account wide achievements. First the players that want to be able to use the titles on all their characters if one character earns the achievement. I don't like the idea simply because I think each character should earn the title but it wouldn't affect me any because I tend to never notice titles anyway.

The 2nd type wants different characters to contribute to the same achievement. For example if one character catches a blue trophy fish and another character catches a different trophy fish they want both to count to the achievement. This idea I am really opposed to because it wouldn't be good for the long term health of the game.

I take the character thing a little farther than the game does. When one of my characters gets a home they can only put in furniture they have earned themselves. So my characters that don't have the Master Fisher accomplishment don't get the boat in their home. They can use crafted items though even if they can't craft themselves because those can be purchased by any player/character. I'm not asking that this be a part of the game it is just something I do.

I do think that characters need their own unique things and achievements/titles are a part of that. It is a big part of what makes our characters characters.

Nobody needs it, some players want it. There's a difference.

and we also dont need balance between classess to all have similiar skills, roles etc, to be on par togeter thats just what players want, we could have classes for single jobs like only dk and necro for tanking, only templar and wardens for healing (which is here anyway for endgame but we all still pretend every class can do everything ) and we could have split in dps like NB the best single target dps but close to nothing for aoe, sorc, necro the best for aoe but worst for single target etc

balance between classes is what players (not everyone ofc) want but they dont need as many players just love to play meta while squishing nonmeta players

and I dont care for collectibles or titles etc for accountwide yet I care jsut for achievs, for mine, not character progress in game which Im losing when I dont play on my alt and I have no time to repeat everying on atleast 5 other alts (class diversity in gameplay to not get bored) and becasue of this I cant run new content, quests or something on alt I would be happy to play with its class because after it I wont have time to play it again not willings, it will take my months, years before I will finally repeat this for my main.

or if not accuont wide achievs then I would be happe for option to play different classes on my main and Im not tlaking about meta, depending on my mood I would even go for progressing godslayer with the worst class for meta for my dps role as I will be still good enough, skilled player to be able to run this and so will my guild, group, friends know it but for now Im unable to play happily with other character than my main aand so with my main when I get sick of playing this single class nonstop just to have all mine progress in single place where I have everything/most already

From what I have heard from guildies the answer to the question, is there a chance that we get account-wide achievements, is a yes. There is very much a chance.

For writing this response I double-checked with my guild. They said that we have a choice between locked and unlocked campaigns, race change, and more all due to players asking for it.
